I get a hang due to deadlock when I apply it. Patch to verify the cause is below. From: Frank Rowand Do not apply this patch -- it is not a valid fix. The point of this patch is to confirm the cause of a bug. Problem seen on 3.15-rc1 with dragonboard platform patches added. The dragonboard hangs on boot the very first time that of_find_node_by_path() is called: of_find_node_by_path() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&devtree_lock, flags) np = __of_find_node_by_path(np, path) for_each_child_of_node(parent, child) { // This is a define: #define for_each_child_of_node(parent, child) \ for (child = of_get_next_child(parent, NULL); child != NULL; \ // Resulting in a deadlock when of_get_next_child() // attempts to lock the same lock: raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&devtree_lock, flags) When this patch is applied, the first lock is commented out so the deadlock does not occur and the boot completes.
